Cyber security professionals in state and local government are responsible for protecting massive volumes of assets, implementing security controls, and remediating vulnerabilities.

He will discuss techniques for identifying and focusing remediation efforts on the most serious threats to their agencies. Morgan Reed will present a first-hand account of his team's experience implementing a continuous risk scoring program, the lessons learned, and results achieved. |
